My in-laws are coming for a visit, so I want to spruce up my bathroom for them. I was thinking that a nice bottle of hand soap and lotion might make them feel welcome. It's important that the soap bottle actually compliment the decor of the bathroom, and by "decor" I mean the shabby pink tile and Craigslist locker that characterize my old Brooklyn bathroom. I bought an expensive washed linen shower curtain with great hopes, and it is nice, but it did not radically improve the appearance of the room. Maybe the small details will help. Which soap should I buy?

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day in Geranium. The colors match my bathroom.
c.Booth soap in Peppermint Vanilla. The bottle also matches my bathroom.
Once again, a pink and white bottle. This time it is gud hand wash.
